It is confusing though. Just 15 days ago, giving up prospects for Posey. Now trading that soon and still alive with weapons to compete. I really think prospect trades should be considered later in the year and closer to the deadline. And I just traded away prospects too. So, at least I'm being honest. lol. My beef isn't with the trades though. It's with VOTING. Either veto or approve. Pick one. Just my two cents. Enjoying the league though. Been fun.
-
I agree with Beane that those are the only two reasons to veto, and I don't think either happened here, so I have voted to approve.
-
And I agree with Poof entirely.
-
Like I mentioned earlier, it was an accidental approval on my part. If it's the swing vote I definitely want it overturned.
-
I think there are more reasons to veto a trade than that. Veto a trade if you feel like you should. Lopsided trades that impact the rest of the league in a noncompetitive manner should be a big reason as well. Not saying to veto it or approve it. Just saying vote something. Every trade in this league will go through because of the astained. VOTE SOMETHING. Vote what you believe is right. Have your own mind. I will say I hate to see teams giving up after a month.
-
I'm not going to justify whether it makes sense to someone or not. The 'soft' rules for trade vetoing are 1) if there is collusion and 2) if a player's inexperience was taken advantage of. If you feel either occurred, then please veto the trade.
-
It doesn't make sense to me.
-
Accidentally approved that last deal. Is it incredibly, unfairly lopsided or am I missing something?

If you were going to top that offer for Bryant, let me hear what you would give for a $9 Sano.

EE, I probably could have beaten that offer. Oh well.

I was going to give "came to play" grief about not knowing his own roster, but it is technically true that he didn't own a Donaldson for over $26.
-
Just noticed I do not have a player for over $26 which is Donaldson
-
So as promised, I asked EE to give me a list of players he wanted—and thus—they've been added.
-
FYI, five players were added to Evil Empire by me. I ended the draft after the second-to-last bidder was done, because I was under the impression that after the auction draft ceases to be "auction-y," the draft should end. The rules also state that "Each owner must conclude the auction capable of filling out a starting lineup." EE did that during the draft. There was some haziness about this, and I asked our Slack community, and they said it was perfectly legal, as long as he

I was just trying to figure out why he was appearing differently on my draft screen. My only issue was being blown off with it's "NOT BUSTER POSEY".

Good job Commish on handling the situation though. Wasn't needed for me either way. I woulda been cool with it however it was. You've been on top of stuff. Good job! Looks like this is gonna be a good league with good owners. Draft day almost here, let the games begin. Time to build the dynasty for years to come. Good luck to all and look forward to some fun in this league this year. I will be active, making trade offers, and talking smack. All in fun though.
-
Honestly I was just giving my opinion more for having Weiters at least available for draft. Really wasn't a big deal. Just wanted to clarify. The fun side of me says no big deal. But the competitive side of me says deadline passed already. I'm here to have fun, but I'm a competitive dude. I'm here to beat you guys and talk some smack doing it. Keep in mind, it will be in fun though. Take it lightly. I'm just glad my opponent is stuck with Weiters now. He wasn't on my list. LOL
-
After reviewing the actual rules, they (Article VII.a) clearly state that "After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players." So that's that. I apologize for my mistake.
-
Ok sorry guys I've been at work all day. Rizz contacted me about dropping two players. I told him there would be a cap penalty, since it would be after the deadline. He chose to drop only one (Wieters) because of the cap hit. Anyone can contact me to do things to their roster they may be unable to do themselves—at any time. So that's that as far as the "clandestine" nature of this ordeal.

Good Luck to everyone on Sunday
